Have you felt the impact of flash?
We’ve seen a more dynamic change in the storage of data on Flash in the past few years than ever before. NAND flash used to only be “trusted” (using that term loosely) in two areas: laptops, and non-critical entertainment such as storage for cameras. Before DIGISTOR was big in the flash storage arena, we would scrutinize every detail of a 2.5” SSD drive for our desktop PC’s, comparing how much data per day we copy, use, and write to be sure we wouldn’t run out of NAND P/E cycles before a standard HDD would.

Evaluating Storage System Security
Storing digital data successfully requires a balance of availability, cost, performance and reliability. With the emergence of low-power, petabyte-scale archival storage and flash-based systems, it is getting increasingly difficult to quantify performance, reliability and space-efficiency trade-offs, especially when coupled with storage-security factors. Storage performance is measured by latency, throughput (bandwidth) and IOPS, with throughput typically presented as overall sustained (long) and peak (short) performance transfer rates, and has a wide variety of non-uniform and unique measurement views when storage security is employed.

Is Hybrid Data Storage a Solution for you?
As the 2016 New Year unfolds, the demand for secure data storage will increase at every level within the IT stack. According to the 2015 Cyber Defense Report, 70% of organizations have been compromised by a successful data breach within the last 12-months. With a zero-trust data protection mantra, new pervasive data security solutions will emerge to touch applications, endpoints, networks and storage collectively. Encryption technology alone, when keys are managed by employees in both on-premise and Cloud environments, is not an adequate cyber-attack deterrent, while control over data location and redundancy are key to maintaining compliance, data privacy and security across global, heterogeneous infrastructures.

Is data-centric security essential in modern storage solutions?
Data storage security has quickly become both a hot-topic and a new budget line item for CTO/CIO’s in 2015, both here in the US and around the world. An organization’s data is most often its most valued asset, while keeping it stored safely is increasingly both a commercial and legal imperative. Managing not only how data is stored but how to securely access and communicate it across a wide range of media and services is the fundamental building block of information assurance.
